Breast Cancer's Network of Strength Walk to Empower

I was kind of sad this year on Mother's Day-both of my kids were still at school taking finals and my husband was on call at the hospital having an extremely busy weekend. I longed for those days when I got homemade gifts from the kids-it all goes so fast! So my sister invited me to join her and her family in a 5K walk for breast cancer. We raised $600 between the two of us and had an unbelievably gorgeous Chicago morning. Here is Team Daughters In Pink posing with the skyline.

Liana did amazing and walked almost half the way. And she's right-we all look good in pink!!!

Here's a belated Mother's Day wish to my favorite moms: Mom, Mom Rosborough, Carol, Donna, Tricia, and Tammy. Hope you all had a great day!

Family Room Update....

I've decided I still need one more quick coat of green paint to even out some roller strokes but I'm so excited about the way things are looking that I thought I'd post update pictures. So even though everything is still masked and my drop cloths (kids old bed sheets!) are still draped everywhere here is how things are looking......and I'm loving it!

Can't wait to see some eggplant color in the kitchen to go with this green! Gotta hurry up and finish because I've got lots of yard work calling my name.

Who Is That Girl In The Window????

We had family pictures taken recently and when I drove over to Utica to pick up the proofs guess who met me in the window of the studio?

Love you Liana!

Family Room Teaser......

I'm slowly working on repainting my family room and kitchen. There will be a total of 3 colors and I had lots of good input from my sister. Two walls in the family room are completely done. Two more walls have one coat on. And the kitchen is patiently waiting.

Here's just a teaser of what things are looking like :0)

And when you use sandstone paint you tend to get "grit" all over your hands when you roll!
